The Warren Commission (WC) claimed that Lee Harvey Oswald (LHO) attempted to kill retired General Edwin Walker (EAW). The evidence supporting this claim is absent from the WC’s twenty-six volumes of exhibits and testimony however.
This post will look at this issue in a new way.
******************************************
We have reviewed every piece of evidence relating to the shooting incident regarding (EAW) in other articles already. In some cases, we have looked at evidence from multiple ways in an effort to be fair. Each and every time it has shown that the claim made by the WC was incorrect.
That is simply what the evidence shows. The WC defenders like to claim that I “read the evidence incorrectly”, but I don’t. Furthermore, if I did I would be very foolish to put a link to it or at least cite it which I always do. I do that so you, the reader, can read it for yourself. I am confident that the vast majority of you will see that the evidence provided by the WC does NOT support their claims made in the WC Report (WCR).
The WC claimed that on the night of April 10, 1963, LHO fired a shot at EAW as he sat at his desk in his study. The evidence simply does not support this claim and it is evident in the fact that the Dallas Police Department (DPD) NEVER suspected LHO of this shooting BEFORE the assassination of JFK. There is not one piece of evidence showing that the DPD ever considered LHO as a suspect in the shooting.
We even see an alibi for LHO in the twenty-six volumes of exhibits that has received very little attention over the years – even by most conspiracy supporters. During the testimony of Michael Paine he would state the following.
Mr. LIEBELER - When did you meet Lee Oswald?
Mr. PAINE - I met him sometime in the spring of 1963.
Mr. DULLES - This is Oswald?
Mr. LIEBELER - Yes; Lee Oswald.
Mr. PAINE - We were invited to a party, Ruth and I were invited to a party, given by Everett Glover. I had a cold and wasn't able to go. Ruth went at that time and subsequently went once or twice to see Marina. And she invited Marina and Lee to our house for dinner, and here the date that comes to mind is April 10.
This testimony by Michael Paine gives LHO an alibi for the night of the EAW shooting (not that he needs it since none of the evidence put forth by the WC shows that he was the person who fired at EAW).
Of course this wouldn’t do so the WC would correct the “record” and use the date that Ruth Paine gave based on her calendar (which was open to alteration after the fact).
Mr. JENNER - Now, would you turn to your calendar, please. What is the next day, date, in your calendar, in which you have an entry?
Mrs. PAINE - Regarding the Oswalds?
Mr. JENNER - Regarding the Oswalds.
Mrs. PAINE - It is April 2, Tuesday.
Mr. JENNER - What is the entry?
Mrs. PAINE - "Marina and Lee dinner."
Mr. JENNER - All right. Now, I take it that by this time, that is, up to April 2 you had had several visits with Marina and you had reached the point at which you invited them to your home for dinner?
Mrs. PAINE - Yes. Now, Michael had never met either. By this time I had talked to him. I had indeed invited them to stay indefinitely.
Mr. JENNER – You invited the Oswalds to dinner on the evening of April 2?
Mrs. PAINE - Yes.
Mr. JENNER - What day of the week was that?
Mrs. PAINE - Tuesday.
This was much more agreeable to the WC so they just changed his testimony to the 2nd of April.
Mr. LIEBELER - Give us your best recollection, and I want to ask you again this was in early April 1963, that you had this conversation, is that correct?
Mr. PAINE - It was that first meeting when we had them over to dinner and Ruth can give you the date of that.
Mr. LIEBELER - For the benefit of the Commission the record indicates it was about April 2, 1963, that that occurred…
Personally I don’t believe that he couldn’t remember the date himself. We are talking about meeting the person who was accused of shooting the POTUS for goodness' sake. I can also see being incorrect by a day or so, but there is quite a difference between April 2 and April 10. What do you think?
Moreover, the continual effort by the WC with both Paines to try and get testimony regarding discussion that they had with LHO about EAW is a giveaway. They were trying to use this dinner as further evidence of LHO’s guilt in the EAW shooting, thus, they couldn’t let this same event become an alibi for him.
In regard to the calendar, Ruth Paine surrendered it to the FBI and was given a copy of it during her testimony.
Mr. JENNER - This will be the Commission Exhibit No. 401. Gentlemen for the purpose of identification of the exhibit, it is Mrs. Paine's calendar which she used in part as a diary and part to record prospective appointments and she surrendered it to the FBI. This is not merely a photostat, it is a picture taken with a camera of that calendar.
If the FBI had a perfect record in this case, then this would be no cause for concern, but they didn’t. Instead, there are many examples of evidence tampering by them in this case. So how do we know that they didn’t alter the calendar to erase an alibi for LHO? Do you think that this is something they wouldn’t do?
If Ruth Paine had kept possession of the calendar, I would have cause for concern too as she supposedly found the Imperial Reflex camera that LHO allegedly owned and gave it to Robert Oswald on December 8, 1963, instead of giving it to the authorities. She too played fast and loose with the evidence at times. Keep in mind that the calendar had a notation that said LHO purchased his rifle on “October 23, 1963” so clearly this is not a totally reliable document. Then add in the fact that the FBI confiscated the calendar, and you then have reasonable doubt regarding the accuracy of the calendar.
We again see evidence in the twenty-six volumes that disputes the official claim. If this issue was a single event, then it would not be enough to sink the WC’s conclusion, but it isn’t. Given the track record of the WC and the FBI in this case I think the original testimony by Michael Paine is enough to cause reasonable doubt. Based on the patterns of this case one can imagine what lengths the authorities would go to in order to erase an alibi for LHO and affix more guilt.
Look at how they treated his alibi for being in the lunchroom at the time of the assassination. The WC ignored two witnesses, Eddie Piper and Carolyn Arnold, to instead take the word of Charles Givens who had said on the day of the assassination that he had gone downstairs before noon and never went back up as he departed the building instead. Givens was the person who they relied on for their claim of LHO being at the window too.
Michael Paine’s testimony causes reasonable doubt, and when you add in the fact that none of the evidence in the EAW shooting tied to LHO you realize yet again that their claim is false.
